YARN IT ALL: Tutorial 7 [Circle Necklace Tutorial]


Again, this post is going to build off my circle tutorial...
So you may want to refer to that for this tutorial.

Can I just say I really like this necklace? It didn't end up being anything like what I was anticipating, but I think it's pretty fun:



Kind of like a pearl necklace made out of yarn...
Anyways, here's the tute:

Materials Needed:
Yarn [I recommend Simply Soft]
Crochet Needle [I recommend Size J]
Scissors
Hot Glue
Necklace Chain


Begin by crocheting 9 circles:



Arrange them into an arch shape... like so:



Hot glue the circles together in that shape:



Hot glue the chain to the back of the circles:



Display around your neck:

Okay, this is hysterical! I saw on your profile thar your a music teacher and craftaholic! Is there'd any chance we are twins? Except you look like ten year younger than me=)

I am all over that crochet necklace! I wonder if you could double it, and just stitch the chain or ribbon in mtgs center? Or fill it will some thing to give it that "string of pearls" feel......hmmmmmm.....yarn pearls! Couldn't you make a couple at the end of every project with your stash and then add lots together????? I am inspired to pieces! Come here YARN!
